i've gotta admit, i had never even heard about this NFL-based 'toon until i got the calendar assignment. after doing some research i ascertained that the story revolves around ish, a 10-year old kid who must protect a lifeforce (known as the "core") that resides in each NFL stadium from the evil overlord sudden death.

for those still not following, that's ish in the foreground of my illustration and sudden death juuuuuuust behind him.
